More Than We Could Ask For

We were lucky enough to be able to book this beautiful restored home on the weekend of the eclipse. It's spacious—each of us had our own room—and quaint. Everywhere you turned, the details take you back to the turn of last century. We might have liked to have a stove, but the microwave and hot plate are sufficient. Plus there's an outdoor grill (Warning: we set off the fire alarm while grilling; be sure the house is closed up if you BBQ!). Plenty of small wineries and hiking in the region, and a hot tub to relax after a long day exploring. Recommend.

This property is incredible

This place exceeded our expectations. It had more than enough room for our group of 8 to sleep comfortably. The location was fantastic for our purposes. The home itself is exceptionally well maintained and has so much character. We were not able to take full advantage of the outdoor spaces, but expect to do so in the future. It's worth noting the lack of a traditional stove/oven, but we did not find it limiting for our needs. We'll be staying here again. If you visit, be sure to visit the Iron Whisk...

Winey Friends

We all absolutely loved this VRBO Property. The decor was amazing. The only oops on my part was that I did not realize there would not be an oven with stove top. The listing said "Oven", that meant a countertop Air Fryer/Oven. We were creative and was able to fix one dinner and one breakfast. The only other comment I have is two of the bedrooms really could use new mattresses. Thanks, Laura, for all your assistance in making this an unforgettable friends trip.

Adorable house

This house was everything we needed for a weekend get away! Only thing I would maybe change is the fact the listing didn’t say anything about there not being a traditional oven/stove. There is a countertop ninja toaster oven/air fryer and some other counter top kitchen tools. It was not a major inconvenience for us. We loved the screened in porch area. The weather didn’t cooperate for a fire pit but the yard was lovely. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. Be sure to hit up the iron whisk for breakfast/brunch.
